An observational study in Edentulous Jaw, sponsored by Marmara University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-01-08.
Sponsored by Marmara University · Observational
The primary aim of this study was to compare the acoustic sound quality of edentulous patients rehabilitated with two-implant overdentures or the all-on-4 concept. The secondary aims were to evaluate the effect of implant and prosthetic success on acoustics.
171 studies on the registry are indexed under Jaw, Edentulous; 24 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 40 across 25 observational studies indexed under Jaw, Edentulous.

Patients with all-on-4 or two-implant overdentures whose surgery and prosthesis were performed at Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry clinics
Exclusion Criteria:
In the control session, participants' acoustic sound quality, implant and prosthesis success will be measured.
In the control session, participants' acoustic sound quality, implant and prosthesis success will be measured.
Acoustic voice quality index
The acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) measures the perceived quality of a voice signal. It is based on evaluating several acoustic parameters that are known to be related to the perceived quality of speech. These parameters include measures of loudness, pitch, and spectral tilt, as well as measures of the presence of noise and other distortions in the signal. Acoustic voice quality will be evaluated in accordance with the AVQI index. During the control session, two separate voice recordings will be made with and without the participants' dentures in the mouth and transferred to the software. The score obtained according to the AVQI index will be used for statistical analysis between groups.
Time frame: At the follow-up session (approximately one year after delivery of the prosthesis)
Implant success
Implant success will be defined according to the following criteria: * Clinical stability and immobility (0); (1) * Full functionality (0); (1) * Absence of pain on mild percussion (0); (1) * Healthy peri-implant soft tissue and radiolucency at probing (0); (1) * Absence of other radiographic pathologic conditions (0); (1). Implant loss and implant mobility will be recorded on standardized documentation forms, as will complications related to prostheses.
Time frame: At the follow-up session (approximately one year after delivery of the prosthesis)
Prosthetic Success
The success of the prosthetic treatment will be evaluated according to the criteria set by Awad and Feine. Participants will be asked about their overall satisfaction with their prosthesis. Also; * Prosthesis stability (0) - (10) * Comfort (0) - (10) * Chewing skills (0) - (10) * Speaking skills (0) - (10) * Ease of cleaning (0) - (10) and * They will be asked to rate their aesthetic appearance (Awad \& Feine, 1998). Participants will rate each item on a 10 cm visual analog scale, where the anchor words are "not at all satisfied" for zero and "completely satisfied" for 10. Participants will be asked to draw a vertical line at the point on the scale that best reflects their responses, where higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Time frame: At the follow-up session (approximately one year after delivery of the prosthesis)
